MUNICH & DAYTON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AVtechnology–Radar is a fundamental building block for both current and future automated driving applications. These radar sensors are used in distance warning and automatic emergency braking systems, thus make driving safer. Radar sensors will be part of the standard equipment of every new car in the future. Among other things, they are required for autonomous driving. With more than 100 million 77 GHz radar chips sold, Infineon is the technology and world market leader in this segment. The aim of the collaboration is to develop this safety technology further.

Oculii and Infineon are collaborating on radar software solutions that scale performance for cost-effective single chip solutions tailored for Level 1 ADAS, all the way to multi-chip high performance solutions tailored for Level 4 Autonomous Driving. This partnership will enable automotive OEMs and Tier-1 customers to leverage Infineon’s best in class chipset containing AURIX™ MCUs, MMIC and power supply hardware platform along with Oculii’s Virtual Aperture Imaging software to deliver high-resolution performance at an attractive price point.

“Infineon is the technology and world market leader in radar silicon, and we have been working closely with them to integrate our Virtual Aperture Software to further improve the angular resolution and performance of their market leading radar solutions,” said Oculii’s CEO, Steven Hong, PhD. “Our team has demonstrated that our software architecture can improve angular resolution and field of view by an order of magnitude. We are looking forward to collaborating with Infineon to bring this technology to the broader automotive market.”

The Virtual Aperture Imaging radar software with Infineon’s AURIX hardware will be demonstrated at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at the Westgate Pavilion booth #1700 from January 7-10 in Las Vegas, NV.

About Oculii

Oculii is developing high resolution imaging radars to enable the next generation of autonomous systems. Oculii’s proprietary Virtual Aperture Imaging radar software increases the angular resolution of any array through a phase encoded modulation scheme that enables a sensor to achieve higher resolution with more compute/memory as opposed to more physical transceiver elements. Backed by some of the top investors and corporations from Silicon Valley, Oculii is working with the leaders in Self Driving Vehicles, Robotics, and Drones – helping them deliver on an autonomous future with an advanced, robust, affordable perception platform.
